Dreamcatcher

This is a song that has been playing in my head for years. It's quite a bit more "acoustic" in sounds and feel than "Voyager" - I guess more in the style of "The Fairytale".

And finally it is now finished. Or, at least finished enough to show it to you, as my experience is that a song is never truly completely finished. A song is like a living being, it will always evolve and change over time. ;-)

I called this song Dreamcatcher because 2009 has been a year of dreams for me. From the dreams and nightmares haunting my nights, to old daydreams coming true and new ones being made for the future.

Some of the time spent canoeing on the Barduelva river this spring and summer has been captured on video. Although we do have lynx, bears and from time to time even a stray wolf in our fauna, I've never encountered any of these magnificent animals in the wild on my canoeing adventures. So these have been filmed in Polar Zoo in Bardu, Northern Norway. ;-)

These video clips do not do justice to the experiences and sights and smells of freshwater canoeing. Paddling through a cool and bright northernly summer night with small wisps of mist on the calm water is a magical experience.

Or watching a fish leap just in front of the canoe as the sun hangs low in the sky and makes the water look like it's made of pure gold.

It has been a great joy for me to create this video, and I hope you'll enjoy watching it as well. :-)

I am moved beyond words... I listened to your music and watched your video not with my ears and eyes but with my heart. I truly, deeply thank you! Only a wonderful person can make such wonderful music...

@tanialupin Thank you Tania!!

Btw, are those video pictures yours, 'cause those are stunning.

[rfoshaug]

@rembrown Thank you! Yes, all video footage is made by me, except for the shot of me fishing at 2:55 which is filmed by my brother.

So it's really a one-man project, as I've done the filming, composed and performed the music, as well as putting it all together and upload it to YouTube. ;-)

Wow! Beatiful music and beautiful Norwegian nature. Although more acoustic in sound than "Voyager" as you say, and of course different, they both have a similar way of building up, in my opinion. Not easy to describe that in words, but maybe that it is one of your signatures, is a way to put it. Anyway, "Voyager" have really got heavy competition for being my favourite, and I have listened to that a few times already, believe me :-). I am really looking forward to hear more of your music. GREAT!

[rfoshaug]

Thank you for your very kind words. ;-)

There will be more music, but no promises as to when. I'm thinking about returning to outer space again for my next song. We'll see. :-)

Are u using a steady-cam of some sort or are you just that calm when filming? Wonderful music and excellent footage. You have become one of my favorites, listening to your covers and self compositions again and again.
